Ford Escort RS2000 Matchbox 1978 Superfast 1:52 Made in England Loose

The Matchbox Superfast No. 9 diecast model depicts the Ford Escort RS2000, a compact hatchback styled as a rally and racing car. The model is made of a metal body with plastic chassis components. The body is dark green, complemented by white and light green stripes running across the roof and along the sides of the vehicle. The SHELL RACING tampo on the roof and bonnet gives it a sporty, historic appearance. Black details include the base, windows and selected body elements, creating a clear contrast with the green paintwork. A distinctive feature is the opening doors, allowing a view of the simplified interior. The model is approximately 80 mm long and was made in England in 1978. The item is described as loose, meaning it has no original packaging and is intended for open display or to complete a collection.

Used, collectible diecast model; after restoration it is like new (without a box, unless a box is shown in the photos). We restore models with 3D-printed replacements for missing parts and special paints made for restoring model cars. If the model shows signs of use, it has been intentionally left partly unrestored to keep its individual vintage character. The photos show the actual condition of the model.

The date given in the title or description is not always the date the casting was made. It may refer to the design of the model, the first casting series or the production of the real car. We give the dates the manufacturer states on the base. If in doubt, check all information against the photo of the base of the model.
